BLESSINGS FROM PROFESSION OF FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST

BLESSINGS FROM PROFESSION OF FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
My Dear Precious Child,
    The only truth upon which people have believed that saves them from the work of the devil in the world is the death of Christ, His visit to hell for the sins of the whole earth and the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ.  No observation of the Mosaic Law can save anyone from the curses of the Law.   He wrote to them that they became saved from the works of the devil the first moment that they believed in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, which was originally preached to the Corinthians by Paul.   In his first recorded letter he wrote that they must hold fast to the belief or their belief would be in vain. 
    In his letter, Paul quoted his confession of faith to his followers in Corinth, saying that the full gospel that he had handed on to them was what he, himself, had received, that Christ had died for the sins of people in accordance with Scriptures, that he was buried and, in accordance with Scriptures, He rose on the third day, that He was seen by Peter, then seen by all Twelve disciples. After that he was seen by five hundred people, though most had fallen asleep in death when Paul was writing the letter.  Next He was seen by James, then by all of the apostles. 
    Also, as Paul wrote, the Risen Christ was seen by Paul, himself, as one born out of the normal course of things.  Paul labeled himself the least of all of the apostles and wrote that because he had previously persecuted the apostles he did not even deserve to be called an apostle of God.  He wrote that it was only by My favor that he became whom he was.  But he claimed that he had worked harder than any of the apostles, not on his own but by My power toward him.  Nevertheless, he commented whether the preaching was by the other apostles or by him, what was important was that the people believed what he and the other apostles preached. (I Corinthians 15;1-11)
    He put the Corinthians to the test, asking them that if Christ was preached as being raised from the dead, why was it that some of them currently believed that there was no resurrection from the dead, which was believed by the Sadducees?   He wrote that if Christ had not been raised from the dead then there truly was no resurrection from the dead for anybody.  If that were true, then they would be revealed as false witnesses of Mine because they had seen Christ after he was raised from the dead.  But if they deny it, then they must deny that anybody was raised, Christ included.  So if Christ was not raised, then their faith was worthless and they were still in their sins, and those people who had fallen asleep in Christ were the deadest of all the dead.   Then Paul wrote to the Corinthians that if their hopes were only limited to their earthly lives, then they were the most pitiful of people in the world.   In that letter of truth Paul continued in his profession of faith.  He said that since Christ was truly raised from the dead, the first fruits were the people who had fallen asleep in death. (verses 10-11)
    In his letter Paul recalled the history of people and told how death came into the earth through one man, Adam, and he also proclaimed that the resurrection of people came into the earth through one man. Christ, and each one of the two in the proper order of time.   He wrote that because of Adam all people die, and so in Christ all people come to life again, Christ being the first fruits and then also all of those who belong to Him at His coming.   He wrote that after the end of the Law would come, that Christ would have destroyed all evil sovereignty, authority and power which he would hand over to the Father.  The timing was not known because the last enemy that needed to be destroyed is death in the lives of people.   The Scripture reads that when everything has been put under His feet of authority, that all demons will be subjected to the Son and He will then subject Himself to Me, the One who made all things subject to Him.  (verses 12-28).
    So, Paul wrote, if the dead are not raised, then what about the people of whom they were baptized on behalf of the dead?  If the dead having been raised is not real, then why be baptized on their behalf?  He also asked them why the apostles were always putting themselves in danger if the dead were not raised?  He affirmed to the Corinthians in his first recorded letter that if the dead were not raised then why were the apostles continually putting themselves in danger?   Paul swore to the believers that he faced death every day on their behalf and on behalf of the gospel.  He wrote that if he fought the beasts in Ephesus for human reasons and emotions, then what profit was there for him if the dead were not raised?   He quoted a saying which was to, "Let everyone eat and drink for tomorrow we die." 
   Then Paul wrote the reason for his affirmation of faith, asking them not to be led astray any longer by false prophets.  He quoted to them that, "Bad company corrupts good morals."  He urged the people of the church at Corinth to return to good reason, as they should do, and to stop sinning.   He told them that they should be ashamed that some of the people in the church at Corinth were quite ignorant of a personal knowledge of Me.  (I Corinthians 15:29-34)        
   Paul felt like a failure because of people in the church of Corinth having fallen away from the Full Gospel and having adopted Jewish traditional religious beliefs which had no power to overcome the evil in the world.   He knew that the only real power was in My Holy Spirit, who was the power given to Christ to raise Him from the dead.
